Our stock is all doing finely and hogs
are booming. Have bit three boars
lett for sale. Have fine lot of young
sows that we are now breeding. 1t
looks now as though we would be
sold out early in the season. We
think we are sure of good trade in
Merino sheep the coming year if
Congress does not try to put wool on
the free list, as the President in his
message recommended
Dennis Snyder, of Ovid, recently
purchased ten Shropshire sheep OF
II. ], Runnell, of Birmingham.
f. Burrows, of Chaplin, has pur-
chased from F. c. Riley, of Forest,
H., an imported Percheron stallion,
winner of the second prize at Chi
cago fat stock show. Said to be an
extra good one.
Geo. w. Deveraux has sold his
span of white carriage horses 10 J. w.
Kennedy, Of Bellfountain, Ohio.
Price 5000,
G.. W. Deyeraax has shipped seven
more horses to East Saginaw for the
sireet cur line.
+. o. Dewey has sold TO Will Ian
of St. Charles, a Jersey
bull calf, sired by a son of Pedro,
dam Bonnie LeBrocq, by LeBrocq's
Prize.
AT the Shiawassee county fair in
1885, Gee. Mckenzie exhibited a
FLY, little past two years old, in
the yearling class by consent of the
other exhibitors, was awarded first
premium. Subsequently this flly was
sold TO L. J. VanLeven, of Riverdale.
At the Ionia fair last fall the filly
Daisy W, was started in the three
year old race. winning first money,
but was protested on the ground that
she was four years old; this the owner
denied-eyen after he had been to
Owosso and had the books of Dewey
& Stewart investigated by a friend,
who informed him of the facts in the
case. Charges Of fraud were pre-
ferred against Mr.. VanLeven, and
on the 9th inst. he was tried before
the board OF review of the American
Trotting Association, found guilty
and expelled. The FLY was sired by
LOUIS Napoleon and is very fast. We
publish these facts to show that Mr..
Mckenzie was not in the wrong,-as
certain papers have tried to make out
: but that VanLeven was guilty and
knew the mare to have been four
years old, and could have settled the
whole matter by admitting the facts
to the lonia fair association,

prices even in dull time, showing
that farmers are learning that with
low prices they must raise better
stock in order to make farming pay.
He also states ttst by recent pur
chases he is still adding to the value
of his herd.
